1.0 out of 5 stars One dollar per mosquito, May 31, 2005

After twice sending the unit back to the factory, the unit worked for two weeks and again would not turn on. I tried all the suggestions made by the factory. The following year I opened the unit and tried to see what was wrong. I found totally frozen fan bearings. I suppose that the cartriges to repel mosquitoes are corrosive and corroded the bearings. To end my agonies with the unit, I took it to the garbage dump. The unit is cheaply made and therefore unreliable. When it worked, it worked well. I believe it cost me about one dollar per killed mosquito.

I purchase my unit a little less than one year ago and now I am shopping for a different brand. It worked fine for the first summer season in Texas, but now that it is spring almost summer--it does not turn on at all. I have completed all of the manual's troubleshooting in addition to purchasing a new bulb and cable for it. But, it does not work anymore after only 1 summer usage! I do not recommend!!!

I don?t usually write things like this but having a Mosquitoes Magnet I wanted more protection without the annoyance of refilling and carrying propane around and not to mention the cost. Every three weeks having to buy propane is bad enough! I took a chance on this Galaxie product and I am glad I did its capturing everything in the yard. It appears to works almost as well as the Magnet and theirs no refilling propane! If this keeps up I will buy two more of these units and retire the Magnet. I give this product five stars!
